About Me

Hello, and welcome to my pediatric occupational therapy practice. My name is Ruqayya Ismail, and I am a dedicated pediatric occupational therapist passionate about helping children grow, develop, and confidently engage in everyday life. I believe every child has unique strengths, and with the right support, they can overcome challenges and reach their full potential.

I specialize in supporting infants and children with developmental delays, sensory processing differences, motor skill challenges, and learning-related difficulties. My approach is child-centered, evidence-based, and focused on creating therapy experiences that are engaging, supportive, and tailored to each child’s individual needs.

Through my work in private practice, hospital, and school settings, I have gained valuable experience working with children across a wide range of developmental stages and diagnoses. I provide therapy for infants in the NICU, support children during hospital stays and post-discharge follow-ups, and work closely with families and educators to ensure consistent progress across environments.

As the founder and lead occupational therapist of my private practice in Arconpark, I am committed to providing compassionate, individualized care that helps children build independence, confidence, and essential life skills. My goal is to create a warm and supportive environment where children feel encouraged to explore, learn, and succeed.

I look forward to partnering with families to support each child’s developmental journey and celebrate every milestone along the way.
